What is Tasti D-Lite?
Tasti D-Lite is known for its frozen desserts. These treats are often seen as a lighter option than regular ice cream. The company has many different flavors for its customers to enjoy.
How Tasti D-Lite Grew
In 2007, a company called SPG Partners LLC bought Tasti D-Lite. They wanted to help the brand grow even more. James H. Amos became the new leader, or CEO, of Tasti D-Lite. The company's main office moved to Franklin, Tennessee for a while.
That same year, Tasti D-Lite launched a new website. This website showed the nutrition facts for over 100 different flavors. This helped customers make healthy choices.
Expanding with Franchises
In 2008, Tasti D-Lite decided to let people open their own stores. This is called a franchise. It helped the company grow in many places. New stores opened both in the US and in other countries. For example, the first international agreement was signed for South Korea. Many of the older stores also became franchises.
New Owners for Tasti D-Lite
In June 2015, a larger company bought Tasti D-Lite. This company is called Kahala Brands. Kahala Brands also bought another dessert chain called Planet Smoothie.
Kahala Brands owns many different fast food and treat places. Some of these include Blimpie and Cold Stone Creamery. Now, Tasti D-Lite and Planet Smoothie stores are managed by Kahala Brands. Their main office is in Scottsdale, Arizona.
